We’re a hardworking, homegrown group that depends on people like you. Over the past 34 years, we’ve protected over 500 parcels of land and more than 52,000 acres. Thousands of people have participated in these accomplishments and in the ongoing stewardship of conserved properties. It takes all of us, working together, to choose a vibrant, resilient and sustainable future for the Upper Valley — and to make it happen.
Indigenous People have cared for this land for centuries. The lands that the Upper Valley Land Trust owns, conserves, and works on, and the land on which we all live, are the traditional, ancestral, unceded homelands of the indigenous people of the Abenaki Nation, a tribe of the Wabanaki Confederacy.
Indigenous People are not gone, they live here and are a part of the past, present, and future of our land and our communities. We honor with gratitude the land itself and the Abenaki people, past and present.

Nothing says fall like winter squash! Our UVLT staff, and garden volunteers, recently harvested Delicata squash from our #uponthehillconservationarea #Foodpantrygarden.

This week Cassie Bernyk, Land Steward and Volunteer Coordinator, and a group of UVLT garden volunteers, harvested 140 pounds of Burbank Russet potatoes in just a couple of hours! We planted these beds in the beginning of June, and so far have dug up 255 pounds of potatoes which were donated to our friends at @WillingHandsUpperValley. AND... we still have a bed and a half to go!
If you would like to support the #BrookmeadFoodPantryGarden, join us for one of our weekly workdays (THURSDAYS 2PM- 5PM), or visit uvlt.org/food-pantry-garden/ for more info!
We could not do this without the support of our volunteers and donors!
